Are we suggesting that currently Hashem\u2019s name is not one?\u00a0 Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak offers an answer to the question.\u00a0<i>In this world, G-d\u2019s name that is written with the letters yod and heh is read as Ad-nai, which begins with the letters alef and dalet. G-d\u2019s name is not pronounced in the same way as it is written. However, in the World-to-Come it will all be one, as G-d\u2019s name will be both read with the letters yod and heh and written with the letters yod and heh.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Today we don\u2019t articulate the name of Hashem in the way it is written but rather with the name of Adonut.\u00a0 We recognize Hashem\u2019s rulership, as servants who relate to a master.\u00a0 Our comprehension of this world is limited and we must have faith in our Master of the world. The navi Zecharia speaks of a future time when Hashem\u2019s greatness and reach will be manifest.\u00a0 We along with the nations of the world will embrace the totality of Hashem\u2019s reign, of His overarching timelessness.\u00a0 We pray for a world where we can openly articulate the holy name that connotes Hashem\u2019s presence in the past, present and future.<\/p>\n<p>During challenging times, people may find themselves asking where is G-d\u2019s presence.\u00a0 We\u00a0ask ourselves how we can make Hashem\u2019s name of timelessness manifest &#8211; how can we make the Divine Name more palpable in our world. Every act of chessed we do, every word of Torah we study makes a difference. These actions allow us to create a G-dly past, a Divine present and a spiritually oriented future thus capturing Hashem\u2019s timeless name.\u00a0 Let us commit ourselves to increasing our Torah and chessed as a way of making Hashem\u2019s name more known in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b8\u05d9\u05b8\u05a7\u05d4 \u05d4\u2019 \u05dc\u05b0\u05de\u05b6\u0596\u05dc\u05b6\u05da\u05b0 \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc\u05be\u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc\u05be\u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u0591\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05a3\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d4\u0597\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b4\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05a7\u05d4 \u05d4\u2019 \u05d0\u05b6\u05d7\u05b8\u0596\u05d3 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05de\u05a5\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d0\u05b6\u05d7\u05b8\u05bd\u05d3\u05c3 And the L-RD shall be king over all the earth; in that day there shall be one L-RD with one name.
